Where Lions Roar at Night is the first book in the multi-award-winning series, The Barn Chronicles by New Zealand author, Rosie Boom
Ten-year-old Milly had always dreamed of living in the country and owning all sorts of animals. So, when her parents buy a piece of land and move their six children into a ninety-year-old barn, Milly can’t believe her luck.
But she never imagined that living the simple life would include mucking out a filthy water tank, gathering endless supplies of firewood, clearing the land and rescuing animals in a ‘hundred year’ storm. Nor did she expect to hear deep groanings in the night…
Where Lions Roar at Night is published by Boom Tree Publishing, New Zealand, and is printed with a hard cover and green cloth spine; 228 pages and over 90 pen and ink illustrations.
